IF I WERE A DC WRITER
There are things in this world that a smile can’t push away
You thought you’d still be here by my side to get everything straight
But now there’s a candle in the corner of your room being lit by a sinister smile
You’re waiting for the light to slowly fade
‘Cause you know I’ll never be with you tonight
We’re both locking up all the pain inside
Oh, you can’t save me from my misery
Just like you can’t save yourself from yours
I am steady
Standing breathlessly
Fighting against the floor
The sky is pretty gloomy even with its design of a silver crescent moon
We’re like a thousand miles apart but I can still hear your heart cry that melancholy tune
And we both don’t have the guts to be together
The question in your mind:
“Is she a mistake that can never be undone?”
Now, look closely at that miracle as she plays underneath the sun
One of the best things that you’ll ever have is all that she is – all her love
So show her how important it is to care, be grateful for everything
That’s enough…
Look at yourself,
Pretended to be strong,
Well, now you ain’t so tough
‘Cause you can’t save me from my misery
Just like you can’t save yourself from yours
I am steady
Standing breathlessly
Fighting against the floor
The sky is pretty gloomy even with its design of a silver crescent moon
We’re like a thousand miles apart but I can still hear your heart cry that melancholy tune
And you know perfectly that we’ll never be together
I’m not crossing this line
Must stay under this gray sky for awhile
All past hopes have drifted into the dark
Is fate simply keeping us apart?
Do you know how it feels when a face so innocent is staring you down?
– telling you to never come around till you’ve opened up your mind?
And I tell you, even if you’ve spared millions of lives...
You’ll never save me from my misery
Just like you can never save yourself from yours
I am steady
Crying breathlessly
A dream is a dream in this crazy world
Look at the sky sprinkled with glittering stars…
You walked in and gave us a start
But I’m sure my heart won’t be failed to be found,
and someone else will stick with it – love me till the end
Though destiny seems to be saying, “Never”
And a piece from the past might stick with me forever
Like this melancholy tune I wrote for her…
You can’t save me from my misery,
Just like you can’t save yourself from yours
You thought you’d still be here by my side to get everything straight

TAMANG PAG-IBIG
I. Sa bawat nilalang
Na nais magmahal
Mayroon laging Isa
Na ukol sa kanya
Sa tamang panahon
Iyon dumadatal
Tugon sa dasal
CHORUS 1:
Ako’y maghihintay
Nang di magkamali
Hindi magmamadali
Sa pagpili ng mamahalin
Ang tamang pag-ibig
‘Di lang sa damdamin
Nakasalig
At nakikinig
II. Hindi man matanaw
Kung nasa’n siya ngayon
Sa aking piling
Makararating din siya
May tulay na lilitaw
Dudugtong sa patlang
Ng pagkahiwalay
(REPEAT CHORUS)
CODA:
Kaya kahit mayro’n diyan
Sa puso’y kumakatok
Kung may alinlangan
Di dapat tanggapin
Pag-ibig nitong alok
CHORUS 2:
Ako’y maghihintay
Ayokong magsisi sa huli
‘Di maiinip
Sa pag-aabang sa tamang pag-ibig
Ang tamang pag-ibig
‘Di lang sa damdamin
Nakasalig at nakikinig
Ito’y pinag-iisipan din
Na nais magmahal
Mayroon laging Isa
Na ukol sa kanya
Sa tamang panahon
Iyon dumadatal
Tugon sa dasal

WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME
It is not of the cruel tortures he felt
In His body nor of the scoffs
And reproaches of His glorious name
They were all swallowed up
In the sufferings within
As the river is swallowed up in the sea
Or lesser flame in the greater
He seemed to neglect the crown of thorns
That had been pushed into His skull
The wounds that tore his throbbing flesh
And those huge iron nails
That fixed His hands and feet to the cross
He seemed to ignore all of these
And the mockery he had received
He only complained of what was more arduous
Than ten thousand crosses
When He was separated from His Father
He cried out aloud,
“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
What hide that face from me?
Christ's desertion is the preventive
Of your final abandonment
Because He was forsaken for a time
You’ll not be forsaken at all time
He was forsaken for you
And God’s forsaking Him
Though but a few hours
Provides you the way to be with Him
Forever
He only complained of what was more arduous
Than ten thousand crosses
When He was separated from His Father
He cried out aloud,
“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
What hide that face from me?
“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
“My God, my God!”
He cried out aloud,
“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthanei?”
Why hast thou forsaken me?
In His body nor of the scoffs
And reproaches of His glorious name
They were all swallowed up
In the sufferings within
As the river is swallowed up in the sea
Or lesser flame in the greater
He seemed to neglect the crown of thorns

The wounds that tore his throbbing flesh
And those huge iron nails

NGAYONG PASKO
Bukas ang pinto
Kung gusto mong tumuloy at maupo
Nakasindi ang ilaw
Kung nais mong dumalaw at bumati
Pag-usapan ang mga pinagtalunan dati
Ating pangarap ay subukang mabuo muli
Ngayong pasko
Buksan ang ating puso
Tayo’y matutong magpatawad
Makipagsundo
'Di madaling kalimutan
Ang mali mong nagawa sa akin
Ngunit aking natanto
Sa’yo ako’y nagkulang din
Ngayong pasko
Bukas ang aking puso
Nagpapatawad
Sa iyo nakikipagsundo
Bukas ang pinto kung gusto mong pumasok at makisalo
Nakasindi ang ilaw kung nais mong bumalik at manatili
Kung gusto mong tumuloy at maupo
Nakasindi ang ilaw
Kung nais mong dumalaw at bumati
Pag-usapan ang mga pinagtalunan dati
Ating pangarap ay subukang mabuo muli
Ngayong pasko
Buksan ang ating puso
Tayo’y matutong magpatawad

IN HIM WAS LIFE
Have you ever thought about?
Where you'll go when you die
Have you ever asked yourself,
"What's the point of this life?"
Full of troubles around
And those questions accompanied by doubts
And it just shows that your life is in vain
Have you ever thought about?
What lies beyond our time
Is it enough to just survive
About eighty years of being vile
Choked in shame
Drowned in guilt
With endless regrets
Unaware that what you feel can never be compared to what He did
CHORUS:
He suffered and died
He sacrificed His sinless life
When we're the reason why
He lived among us
Was nailed on the Cross of Calvary
That whoever might believe in Him
Will live for eternity
In righteousness, in joy and in peace
Have you ever thought about
All of the consequences
Of breathing your last breath without
Receiving His forgiveness
Most will say you have to perfectly good
To get to heaven
But how's that even possible
When we're all guilty of sin
CHORUS
He took our place
He's the only way
And by His grace through faith alone
A person is saved from eternal condemnation
It has always been that simple
It has always been that simple
He took our place
(Jesus - He's the One you need
In Him was life)
He's the only way
(Jesus - He's the One you need
In Him was life)
